The past year has been one of great change for our local community school. We have been consulting with our community, planning and creating a new a secondary school with a bright future as school of choice in our local community.
In 2012 Debney Park Secondary College became Mount Alexander College – a new school. Our new name, Mount Alexander College, references the school’s long history in its current location, and its landmark position in the Flemington community.
